This is dedicated to the ones I love. To Robyn and Statia for giving me a reason to take it. To Mike for laughing when I took it. To Nasty Mike for further inspiration. To Shel because I’m a certified groupie and forever a Blogwhore. To Michele, Rannie, Philo, William and Nancy for bringing out the true Blogwhore in me. And for Rusty, since it is a Kuro5hin t-shirt after all. And for all of you… enjoy!
Come on. You know you want to help raise money for the boobies. So head on over to Robyn’s site and check out all the delicious boobie photos (not always work safe – depending on where you work!) – including some of my very own Big Pink Cookie shots – and then give tell it hurts to the campaign. You know you want to do it. Come on … it’s almost at a point where we can give $1000 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation!
Years ago, I found a lump in my breast. I was about 26 at the time, and considering I lost my right ovary when I was 20 to a massive multiloculated cyst, a lump in my breast was terrifying. According to Dr Choy, I was lucky that I found it when I did, and I insisted that they remove the lump – leaving me with a scar – so they could do a biopsy on it. I’m glad I did; it wasn’t cancer, and since then I have had not only my annual pap & pelvic exam with my ob/gyn, but I’ve had mammograms too. I can’t say enough about the importance of check-ups for cancer. Just do it. And men? That applies to you too.
If you won’t do it for yourself, do it for the people that love you! Support the boobies!
When “Name That Blog” passed the 5000 play mark, Jason took the time to tally up the results from the game and figured out the Best Known Blogs! I made the list – I’m #7! And I’m in some pretty good company – check them all out!
But what me the happiest? What did I point out to Robyn right away? We beat Wil Wheaton! We did it! We beat him! YES! (Yep. It’s the little things that make me happy. I’m well aware of this.)
Thanks to Dick, I discovered that today is the 25th Anniversary of the first “Muppet Show”. Wow – what a flood of memories that brings back. I have always loved the Muppets. Then again, I was truly a “Sesame Street” kid, since that show first aired the year I was born.
I remember when the Muppets came on the air. My Dad & I used to watch it together every week, and when the first “Muppet Movie” came out in the theaters, he took me and my best friend to go see it. (He also took us to see “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band” with the Bee Gees, but that’s a story for another day.)
I still know all of the words to “The Rainbow Connection” and probably every other song in the movie too. When my parents finally got a stereo for our home, they gave me a “Muppet Movie” soundtrack album. I was so puzzled – we didn’t have a record player… until they went out to the garage and got it out of the trunk of the car! Countless hours were spent listening to that album. Now, thanks to ed k., I have a copy of the movie on DVD too – and I must watch it soon!
Happy Anniversary, Muppets! Thanks for the years of laughter and fun!
